Police are warning residents about a home-repair scam after two men, posing as roofers, conned an 85-year-old woman into thinking that her trailer park home needed $950 worth of roof repairs, authorities said Thursday. Police Lt. Charles Poe said the men told the woman Tuesday that her roof would leak during the next storm. The pair told the woman they were applying fiberglass but instead sprayed the roof with an unknown black substance resembling motor oil, he said.
